So I had an idea I need some help with and I'm not sure where to post it.

What I'd like to do is have the terminal integrated with the desktop. maybe something similar to conky. I'd like to be able to click on the desk top and execute terminal commands, or if I have something running be able to monitor it.

I was thinking maybe the bottom half of the desktop would be the terminal. any thoughts?

You could also try tilda. It is a terminal that is hidden on your desktop and when you press F1 it drops down from the top of the screen. You press F1 again and it hides. Very convenient.

In your case you could set it up to make up rise from the bottom of your screen.
